The invention is embodied the construction herein shown and described and then. Finally claimed lin the accompanying drawing Figure l is a central sectional View through Wall having a hole and a name plate and its securing member the name plate and securing member being shown as resting over the hole in position to he pressed into its final place.

a similar view showing the name plate pressed into secnred position.

Fig is a section like Fig. 2 of a modification.

ln the views fidesignates the Wall which they be that of an automobile radiator, piece of furniture or any article to which it is desired to secure a name plate. "the Wall is made with snitahle hole as seen at it 'l' designates the name plate which is shown to he of diameter larger than the hole so as to cover the same.

The securing inElIllJEI" consists ot a ring or of sheet meted annnlarly bent as shown and secured its inner edge to e central boss on the rear or lower side of the plate in the instance shorna an anrnilar lip Q on the boss is spun or bent o er it lip 9 forming the inner margin of the The securing member is formed by arly endin it so as to form two zones 10 and ll standing at an angle to each other the concave side of the ring facing arne plcte. The diameter of the securnir' is made l" than that of the name bi normally 0; slightly larger dieinhole it to occupy. The in ner zone 10 is the narrower one and more 113 'Il10&l19$ or coincides with the the axis cf the securing incin- 11.
